about
2020 was a time of isolation, stress, and worry. I found a call to stay creative and focus on something positive in Deep Sea Diver IG Live show with Jessica Dobson and Peter Mansen. It gave me something to look forward to each week and a creative call to action.
[uno, dos, quatro]
[5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 all engines running - lift off, we have a lift off]
Flipping through my high school yearbook
Those were the good, good times
I had forgotten the note you wrote me
Next to your photo on page thirty-nine
[the eagle has landed]
Now I’m feeling super-nostalgic
Remembering how I tried to make you mine
Bourbon’s giving me new courage
I’m looking up your number online
CHORUS
Oh, Suzi (oh, Suzi), I know what you’re thinking (I know what you’re thinking)
Oh yeah, I, I went to Harlem, you went to Lincoln, it’s true
Suzi (oh, Suzi) I doubt that you’re happy (I doubt that you’re happy)
If we went back, way back in time
Would you choose me, Suzi choose me
VERSE 2
Do you still flip your hair back
Right before you smile
I heard you married your college sweetheart
But that it only lasted a little while
Somedays I think about you
Maybe the timing’s right
Or is it just a broken dream
That will never, ever see the light
Oh, Suzi (oh, Suzi), I know what you’re thinking (I know what you’re thinking)
Oh yeah, I, I went to Harlem, you went to Lincoln, it’s true
Suzi (oh, Suzi) I doubt that you’re happy (I doubt that you’re happy)
If we went back, way back in time
If we went back, way back in time
Can we go back, way back in time
oooo oooo oooo oooo ooooo
Would you choose me, Suzi choose me

Andrew is the real deal. His voice reminds me of Mumford & Sons, but he has this cool folky-pop, singer/songwriter styling with excellent songs and production. Definitely one to watch. Dave Birk
